A-Level Geography Study Group 2024-25

Hope this question doesn't come up in the Carbon Cycle test tomorrow.
"Outline the relationship between the water cycle and the carbon cycle in the atmosphere"(4)
Any ideas?
I have no idea.
At least my teacher has given us the title of the 20-marker in tomorrow's test.

Water cycle is impacted by carbon cycle through carbon emissions, decomposition rate is dependent on water content of soil and humidity of atmosphere.

To get started, here are a few questions to break the ice:

. Thank you for this. I'd say Carbon Cycle is my weakest topic so far so probably should've revised a bit more but lessons learnt for next time.

Have your school done the whole of carbon cycle? My teacher just taught us EQ1 and left us to fend for ourselves 😭
Ive tried emailing her but she said that we don't have to learn the rest🤔
I do Edexcel btw ))

I've learnt the entire Carbon Cycle (my teacher taught it all) and we're now on coasts. I do AQA. If your teacher hasn't taught you most of the Carbon Cycle that's a serious concern and you should tell someone at school about it.

Does anyone do OCR geography?

Yay.
Exam Board:AQA
What do I enjoy most about this subject? I enjoy all of Geography but I (slightly) prefer human and my favourite human topics are Urbanisation/Population/Development. I want to do a BA in Geography most likely at UEA as it's my local (Not Cambridge) uni that does Geography.
What topics are most interesting/difficult? I'm only in Year 12 so I don't know but Changing Places sounds very interesting as it's new and I'm not sure what the most difficult topic is.
I take Geography along with History and Sociology.

Changing Places is an absolutely lovely topic in comparison to some of the others! I'm just about to do my exams and personally I've found Global Systems and Global Governance the hardest but each to their own!

I'm really enjoying it so far. We started Changing Places after Easter.

Anyone do eduqas or heard of or seen any help for it please?

Can anyone explain El nino and Lanina for me

Can anyone explain El nino and Lanina for me

Normal year: trade winds blow across the pacific from east to west (S America to Australia). Warm surface water moves from east to west Pacific. Warm surface water piles up in W Pacific, leads to low pressure, low pressure air rises and cools, leads to more evaporation, leads to more clouds, more rainfall in Australia
El nino: Trade winds which blow from east to west weaken in strength and now blow from west to east. Basically the opposite of a normal year, low pressure in East pacific (S America), moist air rises and cools, leads to condensation, rainclouds form. Which leads to rainfall in south America, no rainfall in Australia
TIP: what I do to remember the difference between normal year and el nino year is: el niNO: NO rainfall in australia
La nina is the opposite of el nino: leads to rainfall in Australia (West pacific), Drought in South america (East pacific)

Year 13s, for your Paper 1 tomorrow.
Year 12s, we have a year until our A-Level Geography Paper 1.😰😭
